Praise.... Get yours on!

The Soundtrack:


Let's talk....

Today's word is PRAISE.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines praise as -
1. Expression of approval, commendation, or admiration.
2. The extolling or exaltation of a deity, ruler, or hero.

In our praise we show our approval, commendation, and admiration for God.
Not that He needs any of this from us, rather we need to participate in praise in order to feel the true joy of the Lord.

Worship and praise are the bread and butter of the Christian life. Without them we die.
As we express our adoration of God we feel His presence and receive the "joy of our salvation".
Praise is not an option. If you haven't been giving God the praise due to Him - don't even hesitate - Praise Him NOW!

Praise is not about how we feel. Too often we only want to give God praise when we feel He has done something great in our lives. But true praise of God is a recognition of who He is. It is a declaration that He is great, not just One who does great things.

So, find your quiet place. Shut out the cares of the world. Make your flesh get quiet. Open your spirit and adore the maker of Heaven and Earth, the sustainer of your soul, the captain of your salvation, Christ your passover, the way, the truth, and the life.

Give God some Praise!

We'll Talk....
